What is the volume in liters of 321 g of a liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL?
Express your answer in liters to two decimal places.

Answer:

  • 0.38 liter

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) V = ?

b) m = 321 g

c) d = 0.84 g/ml

2) Principles and formulae:

Density measures the ratio of the mass and the volume of the substances:

  • d = m / V

Where:

  • d is density of the substance
  • m is the mass of the substance
  • V is the volume occupied by the substance

3) Calculations:

Solve for V, substitute the data in the formua, and compute:

  • d = m / V ⇒ V = m / d
  • V = 321 g / 0.84 g/ml = 382.14 ml

Convert ml to liter:

  • 382.14 ml × 1 liter / 1,000 ml = 0.38 liter (rounded to two decimal places).
